G.bod Theatre are thrilled to announce the Queensland Premiere of Queen Bette, a one-woman show starring Jeanette Cronin as iconic movie star Bette Davis. Following sellout seasons in Sydney and Melbourne, the Queen lands at the Pip Theatre, Brisbane this September.

 

About the show

“The Queen has no hour for love. Time presses, and events crowd upon her. And for a shell, an empty, glistening husk, she must give up all that a woman holds most dear.”

 

Bette Davis was one of the most iconic and gifted film actors of the 20th Century.

This one-woman show retraces the remarkable steps of a true movie legend, from fledgling stage actress via an unrivalled glittering movie career that also saw her battling Warner Studios in an unprecedented attempt to gain independence as an artist.
In an intimate cabaret style, and directed by Brit/Australian Peter Mountford, Queen Bette follows her incredible life and makes reference to many of her most famous screen roles – in particular her fascination with Queen Elizabeth I (whom she played twice in two different movies, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) and 16 years later in The Virgin Queen (1955).

 

Davis fought hard all her life, had four husbands, two Oscars and a reputation as the biggest bitch in Hollywood. Queen Bette tells the whole story.

 

In this remarkable exploration of the glory days of Hollywood and the darker side facing female actors of the time, renowned Australian actress Jeanette Cronin (Holding the Man, The Boys, Parramatta Girls, Dark Voyager) returns to the role she was born to play.

 

I have never been able to keep my mouth shut. Now mine was a voice that couldn’t be ignored” Bette Davis
